It’s interesting that MariaDB seems to be pursuing a business model based at least partially on “artificial scarcity”. I wonder what Simon Phipps (a member of the original MariaDB board) would have to say about that:

Are you able to find the code for the firewall filter? I came to the conclusion after failing to find it that there must be some non-GPL-licensed plugins reserved for MariaDB Enterprise customers, and those are filtered out of the GitHub repository. I’d sure love to see pointers if I’m wrong.

Thanks, Vadim, for letting us know about this issue!
